See you're wrong. In the movie it's portrayed as if they knew nothing of the expedition til right before reaching their destination when they were finally briefed

I can't see anyone, especially learned men, agreeing to this without knowing what the mission was and all the info that led to it.

The decisions made once shit goes downhill I can disregard, well some of it anyway. But these scientists made obviously bad decisions starting with agreeing to the trip with no info to trying to handle alien life and so on. Some things even a science student would know not to do

Anyway like I said these were my peeves. You can try to explain them away but not with any solid rationale behind it

makabriel, of course those videos are satire, but it doesn't make any of their points less valid. I watched several other of the videos like the Avengers one and it makes me think "yeah, there are some really dumb things we suspend our disbelief for as long as you enjoy the ride."

i'm with wise on aliens marine or soldier you get your orders you go suicide mission or not. i can remember going on some crack head idea of a raid and saying to the guys this is retarded where gonna die! but then when that alert came threw lock, cocked ready to rock would come out and you just do it cause your told too and you don't pu$$y out. i need to rewatch alien i've seen the movie a billion times and i can never remember much of it i can't even remember the space jockey for shit.

I bought it yesterday and me and my boys (15 and 13) checked it out and they quite liked it. They weren't into the whole Alien franchise as their mom and I, so they enjoyed it for what it was I think. I had seen it it at the movies and I agree that it was lacking in some areas, but I still enjoyed it and I hope there is a new one.

I have two big peeves with the movie. That Shaw was running around like an action hero hours after major surgery I found unbelievable. I've had major surgery and a few hours later I couldn't move. Running and jumping were out of the question, no matter how much adreneline there was. The future surgery machine was doubtless very advanced but it didn't seem to do more than staple her up after the surgery.

My other peeve was, how did the scientist guy get meal worms on his boot? Even if they had meal worms on the ship for their experiments and even if somebody dropped them on the floor, they put on space boots in the airlock before they left. No way the meal worms would get there. And even if they did, why did it take SO long for them to be shaken off the boot. Those guys were walking all over the place.

Were they alien worms from the planet? Didn't look like it. They looked like meal worms.

I keep seeing so many referenses comparing this movie to Alien and the Alien franchise. Ridley said this was NOT a direct prequel/sequel in any way, and it simply had "Alien DNA" in the movie. To make it as though it was some kind of direct prequel to Alien is absurd.

Despite the flaws people have posted, I truly enjoyed Prometheus and will continue to enjoy it on my DVD copy I picked up today!

Very much agree with the first comment ... in fact there is a point in the movie where everything becomes rushed and illogical (like the editor went mad) ... people act like this or that did not happen, etc
